United Methodist Church Announces Expanded Partnership with Man in the Mirror
David Adams, General Secretary of the General Commission for United Methodist Men (GCUMM), has announced the adoption of the No Man Left Behind {NMLB} model as the men’s discipleship strategy for United Methodist Men. In a letter to every UMC pastor and men's leader, Adams is recommending that every UM pastor and every UM men's leader learn the model and participate in NMLB training at the district and/or conference level. "With 35,000 United Methodist congregations in America, this vital ministry partnership will have a tremendous impact on our ministry, the United Methodist denomination and the country. Pray that God would use this partnership to build the effectiveness of the United Methodist Church as it strives to reach and disciple men in Christ."

This Valentine's Day, Thank Your Wife for Extending Your Life!

“According to statisticians Bernard Cohen and I-Sing Lee, who compiled a catalog of relative mortality risks, "being unmarried is one of the greatest risks that people voluntarily subject themselves to." Having heart disease, for example, reduces a man's life expectancy by just under six years, while being unmarried chops almost ten years off a man's life."
